Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Even after millions of flex cycles, this cable transmits reliable signals. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending. Use it in moving equipment such as cable carriers.

Unshielded—Choose unshielded wires when electromagnetic interference (EMI) isn't a concern. Equipment such as motors and pumps may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.

Shielded—A single layer of shielding protects sensitive electronics and control systems by blocking electromagnetic interference (EMI). Otherwise, equipment such as motors and pumps could distort signals.

Abrasion-Resistant Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Unshielded

Shielded

Prevent wear and tear in rough areas and conditions. Unlike other continuous-flex control cables, the rugged polyurethane jacket on this cable protects against abrasion as well as exposure to chemicals, oil, and moisture. It’s often used in cable carriers in high-production CNC machines that need reliable signals for millions of flex cycles. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending.

No-Conduit-Required Control Cable

Unshielded

Double Shielded

Made to TC-ER (Tray Cable, Exposed Run) standards, this crush- and impact-resistant cable eliminates the cost and hassle of installing conduit. It’s ideal for exposed runs, such as from a cable tray down to a control panel or motor control box. Support it every six feet to prevent sagging. You can flex and bend this cable during installation and adjustments, but it isn't made for continuous motion.

Double Shielded—With two layers of shielding, this cable offers better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) than single-shielded cable. It’s often used near transformers, generators, and heavy-duty motors that may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.

No-Conduit-Required Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Eliminate the need for conduit and cable splices. Made to TC-ER (Tray Cable, Exposed Run) standards, this cable resists impact and crushing force. You can run a single length from stationary equipment to and through moving equipment, such as cable carriers. Support it every six feet to prevent sagging. Even after millions of flex cycles, this cable transmits reliable signals. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope, strengthening the cable and preventing fatigue from constant bending.

Continuous-Twist and -Flex Control Cable

Unshielded

Ideal for multi-axis, torsional, and bending movements, this cable is often used in robot arms. It will endure millions of flex cycles while sending reliable signals, even when it's twisting. Internally, fine strands of conductors are twisted together like a rope, resisting fatigue from constant bending. On the outside, a rugged polyurethane jacket resists abrasion, chemicals, oil, and moisture.

Long-Life Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Replace cables in your moving equipment less frequently. Often used in cable carriers, this cable lasts 20 million flex cycles, at least twice as long as most other continuous-flex cable. A rugged polyurethane jacket protects it from abrasion and exposure to chemicals, oil, and moisture. This cable maintains reliable signals despite the demands of continuous motion. Inside, finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to strengthen the cable and prevent fatigue from constant bending.
